The replie.

Saint Chrysostome in an other place confuteth your sophisti∣call answers, and deliuereth his meaning in so plaine tearmes, as no deniall can be made thereof. These are his words;* 1.1 Non enim sufficit ipsi hominem fieri flagellis interim caedi; sed nos se∣cum in vnam (vt ita dicam) massam reducit, neque id fide solum, sed reipsa nos corpus suum efficit. For it is not inough for him to become man, and in the meane time to be whipped & scour∣ged:* 1.2 but hee doth as it were moulde vs into the same lumpe with himselfe; neither is this done by faith onely, but hee ma∣keth vs his owne body indeede. Lo, there is a further kinde of eating, then by faith onely; we are made his body really, and not onely by faith. And Saint Hilary saith the very same in effect. These are his words:* 1.3 De veritate carnis & sanguinis non relictus est ambigendi locus: nunc enim & ipsius domini professione, & fide nostra verè caro est, & verè sanguis est. Concerning the veritie of his flesh and bloud, there is no place left to stand in doubt: for now as well by Gods attestation, as by our owne faith, he is flesh indeede and bloud indeede.
